Without investing in an elaborate filtering system, I have our well water very acceptable now by using 2 whole house filters and a chlorine injector. The problem now is the pressure drop that occurs after the last filter. It is a 5 micron carbon filter and requires changing about every 3 mo. As...

we have a 240 ft well with a submersible pump which pumps ~ 8 gpm. For water conditioning I have a 30 micron WH filter to remove sand and grit, a soda ash/ chlorine injector for PH and finally a 5 micron carbon WH filter to remove the chlorine. All this has worked well except for the pressure...
